Fulfilling the rights of the second wife
Q: I am a second wife and my husband hasn't lived with me since the day of our walimah. It's been almost a year that we've been married and my husband only comes to me for 2-3 hours a day. In this year, I was also pregnant but the timing of my husband remained the same. Now I want him to stay with me the exact amount of time he didn't spend with me in the last year.
A: It is compulsory upon your husband to exercise equality between both his wives. If he does not exercise equality in dealing with any wife, he will be sinful, unless she forgives him. We suggest that you get someone to speak to him and explain to him that he needs to fulfill the rights of both his wives equally.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
